Botox Injections

Service Description

Botox injections are a type of injectable treatment that use a toxin to temporarily paralyze muscles, which can have cosmetic and medical uses. Cosmetic Botox is a popular injectable treatment for wrinkles and other facial concerns, such as crow's feet, frown lines, and forehead lines. The toxin prevents nerve signals from reaching the muscles, causing them to relax and soften the skin. Medical Botox can also be used to treat a variety of medical conditions, including: Severe underarm sweating Cervical dystonia, a neurological disorder that causes neck and shoulder muscle contractions Blepharospasm, also known as uncontrollable blinking Strabismus, also known as misaligned eyes Chronic migraines Overactive bladder Procedure A doctor uses a fine needle to inject a small amount of Botox into the skin and muscles. The effects of Botox typically last 3–12 months, depending on the treatment.
